Download AmigaOS 3.2.2

The Commodore Amiga is a machine that many people think back to with some sense of nostalgia. Hyperion Entertainment is a company that still produces Amiga-based hardware. This “new computers” turn on AmigaOS 4.1. Furthermore, the old AmigaOS is also maintained on the original hardware. However, this is based on AmigaOS 3.1, because Hyperion Entertainment does not own the rights or source code of version 3.9, the last official release for the original hardware. Version 3.2.2 of AmigaOS for the original hardware has now been released and the release notes are as follows:

Highlights of AmigaOS 3.2.2 are as follows:

• TextEdit has seen several improvements to its extension interface, and has gained an “About” menu item;
• “Showconfig” now shows 68060 revision;
• “IconEdit” now notifies the user if someone else modifies the icon file that is being edited. And pressing the help key brings up help. The whole color handling of colorful icons has been improved so icons can no longer degrade. Users may end up in a situation where it will look worse than on a perfect display, but it will not degrade the icon. As such the dreaded “downgrade” dialog doesn’t happen anymore, but in some cases “IconEdit” will open on a separate screen;
• “Kickstart” can now boot with earlier Workbench and icon library versions if they are present on the boot volume. This allows for installation of the ROM whilst retaining the ability to boot any AmigaOS version from 3.1 to 3.9, before installation of AmigaOS 3.2 on a volume;
• The sketchboard.gadget has seen some speed improvements, that should be noticeable when using IconEdit;
• The listbrowser.gadget has had a complete overhaul, making the file much smaller, and a bit faster;
• The layout.gadget has had a complete overhaul;
• The window.class has had a complete overhaul;
• The RAM disk has had a complete overhaul so it is much less likely to cause issues;
• Improved “Local” support
• Updated version of boards.library
